I often see high rises during construction sitting in rain and storms for months especially in places like New York. You can often see rust forming. Aren’t those rust going to cause structural issues?

Not a structural engineer or materials scientist by any means, but from what I know, that is simply surface level rust that doesn’t affect the structural integrity of the steel beams.
